Speaker 4: much for tuning in, and thank you again for coming

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: out today. And I like to start with something funny.

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 4: And I heard about this kindergarten teacher. She wanted to

50
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 4: explain to her students about self esteem. She asked anyone

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: in the class that feels dumb to please stand up.

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: She didn't think anybody would stand and she would make

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: the point how nobody is dumb. But about that time

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: little Johnny stood up, she thought, oh no, Now what

55
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 4: am I going to do? She said, Now, Johnny, do

56
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: you really feel like you're dumb? He said no, ma'am.

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: I just hate to see you standing there all by yourself.

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says.

60
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: I am.

61
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

63
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

64
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is accept it. I will never

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I

66
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: want to talk to you today about having an abundant mentality.

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: God's dream for your life is that you would be

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: blessed in such a way that you could be a

69
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: blessing to others. David said, my cup runs over. God

70
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: is an overflow god. But here's the key. You can't

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 4: go around thinking thoughts of lack, not enough, struggle and

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: expect to have abundance. And if you've been under pressure

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: for a long time and had difficulty making ends meet,

74
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: it's easy to develop a limited mindset. I'll never get

75
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: out of this neighborhood, or I'll never have enough to

76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: send my kids to college. Now, that may be where

77
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: you are now, but that's not where you have to stay.

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: God is called Elshaddai, the God of more than enough,

79
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: not the god of barely enough. God, just help me

80
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: make it through, let me live off the leftovers. Know

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: the God of overflow, the God of abundance, the God

82
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: of more than enough. And the Psalm thirty five says,

83
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: let them say continually, let the Lord be magnified, who

84
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: takes pleasure in the prosperity of his children. They were

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 4: supposed to go around constantly saying God takes pleasure in

86
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 4: prospering me. It was to help them develop this abundant mentality.

87
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: Your life is moving toward what you're constantly thinking about.

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 4: If you're always thinking thoughts of lack, not enough, struggle.

89
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: You're moving toward the wrong things. Now, all through the day,

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 4: meditate on these thoughts. Overflow abundance. God takes pleasure in

91
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: prospering me. In the scripture, the Israelites had been in

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 4: slavery for many years. That was the land of barely enough.

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: They were just enduring, vibing, barely making it through. One day,

94
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: God brought them out of slavery and took them into

95
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 4: the desert that was the land of just enough. Their

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: needs were supplied, but nothing extra. Says. Their clothes didn't

97
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: wear out for forty years. I'm sure they were grateful.

98
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: I don't know about you. I don't particularly want to

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: wear this same suit for the next forty years. If

100
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: I have to, I'm not going to complain. But that's

101
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: not my idea of abundance. It wasn't God's either. God

102
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: eventually took them into the promised land that was the

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 4: land of more than enough. The food and supplies were plenteous,

104
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: the bundles of grape so large two grown men had

105
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: to carry them. It's called the land flowing with milk

106
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 4: and honey. Flowing means it didn't stop. It never ran out,

107
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: it continued to have an abundance. That's where God is

108
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: taking you. Now. You may be in the land of

109
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 4: barely enough. Right now, you don't know how you're gonna

110
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: make it through next week. Don't worry. God hasn't forgotten

111
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: about you. God closed the lilies of the field, he

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 4: feeds the birds of the air. He's going to take

113
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 4: care of you. You may be in the land of

114
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: just enough. Your needs are supplied. You're grateful, but there's

115
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: nothing extra, nothing to accomplish your dreams. God is saying,

116
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 4: I did not breathe my life into you to live

117
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: in the land of barely enough. I didn't create you

118
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 4: to live in the land of just enough. Those are seasons,

119
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 4: those are tests, but they are not permanent. Don't put

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: your stakes down. You are passing through. It is only temporary.

121
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 4: God has a promised land for you. He has a

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 4: place of abundance, of more than enough, where it's flowing

123
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 4: with provision. Not just one time, but you'll continue, you

124
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 4: to increase, You'll continue to have plenty. Now, if you're

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 4: in the land of barely enough, don't you dare settle there.

126
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: That is where you are. It is not who you are.

127
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: That is your location, That is not your identity. You

128
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: are a child of the most High God. No matter

129
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: what it looks like. You have this abundant mentality. Keep

130
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 4: reminding yourself. God takes pleasure in prospering me. I am

131
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: the head and never the tell. The scripture says God

132
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: will supply our needs according to his riches. So often

133
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: we look at our situations and think, I'll never get ahead. Joel,

134
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 4: I'm in the projects, I'll never get out. No, it's

135
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: not according to what you have, It's according to what

136
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: he has. The good news is God owns it all.

137
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: One touch of God's favor can blast you out of

138
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: barely enough and put you into more than enough. God

139
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: has ways to increase you beyond your normal income, beyond

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: your salary, beyond what's predictable. Now, quit telling yourself this

141
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: is all I'll ever have. Granddaddy was broke. Mom and

142
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 4: daddy didn't have anything. My dog's on welfare, my cat's homeless.

143
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 4: Let go of all that and have an abundant mentality.

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: This is not where I'm staying. I'm blessed, I'm prosperous.

145
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: I'm headed to overflow to the land of more than enough.

146
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 4: I received a letter from a young couple. They had

147
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: both been raised in low income families. All they saw

148
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: modeled growing up was lack, struggle, can't get ahead. Their

149
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: families had accepted it, but not this couple. They had

150
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: been coming to Lakewood. They didn't have not enough mentality.

151
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: They had an abundant mentality. They knew God had a

152
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: promised land in store for them, and they took a

153
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: step of faith, and on very average incomes, they decide

154
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 4: to build their own house. They didn't take out a loan.

155
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: Whenever they had extra funds, they would buy the materials

156
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 4: and hire the contractors. A couple of years later they

157
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 4: moved into this beautiful house and a nice neighborhood, all

158
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: debt free. It was like God had multiplied their funds.

159
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: Not long ago, they sold that house for twice what

160
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: they had put into it. The lady wrote, we never

161
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: dreamed we would be blessed like we are today. She

162
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: went on to say something interesting. She said, my great

163
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: grandparents and my grandparents always told me that if I

164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 4: had beans and rice, that was good enough. But I

165
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 4: always knew one day I would have steak. And if

166
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: you're going to become everything, God's created you to be.

167
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 4: You gotta make up your mind like she did. You

168
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: are not going to settle for beans and rice. You

169
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: are not going to get stuck in the land of

170
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: barely enough or the land of just enough. But you're

171
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: going to keep praying, believing, expecting, hoping, dreaming, working, being

172
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: faithful until you make it all the way in to

173
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 4: the land of more than enough. Now, there's nothing wrong

174
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 4: with beings in rice, nothing wrong with surviving. But God

175
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: wants you to go further. God wants you to set

176
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: a new standard for your family. He's an overflow God,

177
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 4: a more than enough God. Jesus told a parable about

178
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: a prodigal son. This young man left home, blew all

179
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: of his money, wasted his inheritance, and decided to return home.

180
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 4: And when his father saw him, the father represents God.

181
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: He said to the staff, go kill the fatted calf.

182
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 4: We're going to have a party. The older brother was upset.

183
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: He said, Dad, I've been with you this whole time,

184
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: and you've never given me a skinny goat. Let me

185
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: ask you, do you have a fatted calf mentality? Or

186
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: do you have a skinny goat mentality? Do you think

187
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: beans and rice are good enough? Or do you say no,

188
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 4: I want some enchiladas, I want some fahetas, I want

189
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: some soap a pias. Listen, you can live off of

190
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 4: bread and water. You can survive in the land of

191
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: barely enough. We can endure the land of just enough,

192
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: just enough to make it through, just enough to pay

193
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 4: my bills this week. But that is not God's best.

194
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: Your heavenly father, the one that breathed life into you,

195
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: is saying, I've got a fatted calf for you. I've

196
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: got a place for you in the land of more

197
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: than enough. Now, don't go around thinking that you'll never

198
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: get ahead. You'll never live in a nice place, You'll

199
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 4: never have enough to accomplish your dreams. Get rid of

200
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 4: that skinny goat and start having a fatted calf mentality.

201
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: I want you to overflow with his goodness. When the

202
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: Israelites were in the desert, in the land of just enough,

203
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: they got tired of eating the same thing every day.

204
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: They said, Moses, we want some meat to eat out here.

205
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: They were complaining, but at least for a little while

206
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: they had a fatted calf mentality. Moses thought, that's impossible.

207
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: Meat out here in the desert steak for some two

208
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 4: million people. There were no grocery stores, no place to

209
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: buy food. But God has ways to increase you that

210
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 4: you've never thought of. God simply shifted the direction of

211
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 4: the wind and caused a huge flock of quall to

212
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: come into the camp. They didn't have to go after it.

213
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 4: The food came to them. What's interesting is quall doesn't

214
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: normally travel that far away from the water. If there

215
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: had not been a strong wind, it would have never

216
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 4: made it way out there in the desert. What am

217
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: I saying? How to get your provision to you? A

218
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 4: statistician ran some numbers based on the size of the camp,

219
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 4: the number of people quel three feet off the ground

220
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: like the scripture says. He concluded that there were approximately

221
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 4: one hundred and five million quail that came into with

222
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: a camp. That's an abundant God. God could have given

223
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 4: them a couple of quall that would have been four

224
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: or five million quail. But God doesn't just want to

225
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 4: meet your needs. He wants to do it in abundance.

226
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: Now the question are you thinking skinny goat or are

227
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 4: you thinking fatted calf? Well, Joel, I could never afford

228
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: a nice place to live. Can I say this respectfully,

229
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: Skinny Goat, I could never send my kids to the

230
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: college they really want to attend, Skinny Goat, I could

231
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: never build that orphanage. I could never support other families.

232
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: I can barely support my own family. Now, God has

233
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 4: a fatted calf of abundance for you. He is not

234
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: limited by your circumstances, by how you were raised, by

235
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: what you don't have. He's limited by what you're believing.

236
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: And some of you have had that, Skinny Goat with

237
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 4: you for years and years you become best friends. You

238
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: need to announce to him today, I'm sorry, but our

239
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 4: relationship is over. It's done. We're going to be parting ways.

240
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: He may cry, complain, ask is there anybody else? Tell him, Yes,

241
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 4: I've found a fatted calf. No more thinking not enough,

242
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: barely enough, just enough. From now on, I'm thinking more

243
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: than enough and abundant mentality. When you live like this,

244
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 4: God will bless you in ways you've never imagined. It's

245
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: like this one lady. I know, she's a single parent mother,

246
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: and her family has gone through a lot of struggles.

247
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: For years, she was barely making it. But every Sunday

248
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: he and her two sons would be here at Lakewood

249
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 4: in spite of all the obstacles. They didn't have a

250
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 4: skinny goat mentality. They were in the land of barely enough,

251
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: but they didn't put their stakes down. They knew that

252
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: wasn't their permanent address. Like she did, You've got to

253
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: be faithful in the wilderness if you're going to make

254
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 4: it into the promised Land. I'm not saying that everything's

255
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 4: going to change overnight. There's going to be seasons of

256
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 4: testing and proving. Thoughts are going to tell you it's

257
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: never going to change. But you dismiss that. You just

258
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: keep being faithful right where you are, honoring God, thanking

259
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: him that you're coming in to overflow. Her son, from

260
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: the time he was a little boy, always said that

261
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: he was going to get a scholarship to go to college.

262
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: He could have thought we're poor, I'm at a disadvantage. No,

263
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: this single parent mother taught her sons that God is

264
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: a god of abundance, that he can make away when

265
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: we don't see away. Three years ago, her son graduated

266
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: number two in his high school. He received not one scholarship,

267
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: not two, not five, not seven, not eight. He was

268
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: awarded nine scholarships, totaling over one point three million dollars.

269
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: His undergraduate, his master's, and his doctorate is all paid

270
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 4: for at Georgetown University. That's what happens when you say

271
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 4: goodbye to the skinny goat and you have a fatted

272
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: calf mentality. Jesus talked about how when we give, it

273
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 4: will be given back to us. Good measure pressed down,

274
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: shaking together and running over. What does that mean? Press down?

275
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 4: I used to make chocolate chip cookies with our children.

276
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: The recipe calls for three fourths of a cup of

277
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: brown sugar. When you pour the brown sugar in, it's

278
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: so thick, so dense, even when it hits the mar

279
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: for three fourths, you have to press it down. When

280
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 4: you do, you can put in about twice what it

281
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: looked like. That's what God is saying. When you look full,

282
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 4: you think you're blessed, you're healthy. All you need is

283
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 4: one scholarship. You just want the house to sell for

284
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 4: what you put into it. You just want quail for

285
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 4: a day or two. God says, that's fine. But I'm

286
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 4: an overflow God. I'm more than enough. God. I'm about

287
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 4: to press it down and make room for more of

288
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 4: my increase. I'm gonna press it down and show you

289
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: my favor in a new way. After he presses it down,

290
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: he's gonna shake it together and not just fill it

291
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: to the top. He's gonna take it one step further

292
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: and give you so much that you're running over. You

293
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 4: just wanted one scholarship. God says, that's fine, I'm gonna

294
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: give you nine to make sure you're covered. You just

295
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 4: wanted to get your money out of the house. God says,

296
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna cause it to sell for double. You just

297
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: wanted quail for a day or two. God says, I'm

298
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: gonna give you a stake for a whole month. That's

299
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 4: the way our God is. Why don't you get in

300
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 4: agreement and say, God, I'm ready, I'm a giver. I

301
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: have an abundant mentality. Lord, I want to thank you

302
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 4: for good measure, pressed down, shaking together, and running over.

303
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: In my life, friend of mine has a son that

304
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: God is driver's license. A while back and really wanted

305
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: a car. His father said to him, let's believe that

306
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 4: God will give you a car. Son said, Dad, God's

307
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 4: not gonna give me a car. You can buy me

308
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 4: a car. He said, no, let's pray. They asked God

309
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 4: to somehow make a way that he could have a car.

310
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: A couple of months later, this man's employer called him

311
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: in and said, for the last two years, we've made

312
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 4: a mistake on your paycheck. We've been under paying you.

313
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 4: They handed him a check. It was five hundred dollars

314
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 4: more than the car they had been hoping to buy.

315
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: The scripture says, is there anything too hard for the Lord?

316
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 4: There is no telling what God will do if you'll

317
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 4: get rid of the skinny goat. God is about to

318
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: press some things down. He's about to make room to

319
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 4: show you his increase in a new way. Says in Exodus,

320
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: I am bringing you out of lack into a good

321
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: and spacious land. No, not a small land, a little place, tight, crowded,

322
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 4: not enough room. Nor receive this into your spirit. God

323
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 4: is bringing you into a spacious land, a land of

324
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: more than enough, a land of plenty of room, a

325
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 4: land that's flowing with increase, flowing with good breaks, flowing

326
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 4: with opportunity, where you not only have enough for yourself,

327
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 4: but you're running over, running over with space, running over

328
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: with supplies, running over with opportunity. If you're not in

329
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: a good and spacious place. My challenge is don't se there.

330
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: Don't let the skinny goat mentality take root. Don't think

331
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: beans and rice is good enough. That is not your

332
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: permanent address. It's only temporary. God has taking you to

333
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: a good and a spacious land. Well, you say, Joel,

334
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: are you one of those prosperity ministers. No, I don't

335
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: like that term. That sounds like somebody that only talks

336
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 4: about finances. Prosperity to me is having your health, it's

337
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: having peace in your mind, it's being able to sleep

338
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 4: at night, having good relationships. There are many things that

339
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: money cannot buy. And while I don't like the term

340
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 4: prosperity minister, I must say I am not a poverty minister.

341
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 4: I can't find one place in the scripture where we

342
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 4: are supposed to drag around not having enough, not able

343
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: to afford what we want, living off the leftovers, living

344
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: in the land of not enough. No, we were created

345
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 4: to be the head and not to tell Jesus came

346
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: that we might live in abundant life. We represent Almighty

347
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 4: God here on this earth. We should be examples of

348
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: His goodness. So blessed, so prosperous, so generous, so full

349
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 4: of joy that other people want what we have. But

350
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: you've got to fight a religious spirit that says you're

351
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 4: supposed to be poor, broke and defeated to show God

352
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: that you're really humble. Now, when you're poor, broken, defeated,

353
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 4: all that proves is that you're poor, broke, and defeated.

354
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 4: It doesn't bring any honor to God. If I brought

355
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: my two children up on the platform today and their

356
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 4: clothes were all raggedy, worn out, holes in their shoes,

357
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 4: hair not combed, you would look at me and think

358
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: what kind of father is he? It'd be a poor

359
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: reflection on me. Listen, when you look good, dress good,

360
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: live in a nice place, excelling your career, generous with others,

361
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 4: that brings a smile to God's face. It brings him

362
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 4: pleasure to prosper you. My father was raised during the

363
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 4: Great Depression, and he grew up extremely pooring He developed

364
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: this poverty mindset. He was taught in seminary that you

365
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: had to be poor to show God that you were holy.

366
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: The church he pastored made sure he stayed holy by

367
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 4: keeping him poor. He was making a little over one

368
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: hundred dollars a week, trying to raise his children, barely surviving,

369
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 4: and one time he and my mom kept a guest

370
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 4: minister in their home all week. Sunday, after the service,

371
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: a businessman came up to my father and handed him

372
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: a check for one thousand dollars like five thousand dollars today.

373
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: He said, I want you to have this personally to

374
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 4: help take care of the expenses of the guest ministry.

375
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: My father took the check by the corner like it

376
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 4: was contaminated. It might poison him. He said, oh no,

377
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: I could never receive this. We must put it in

378
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: the church offering. He walked toward the offering plate. With

379
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: every step something said, don't do it. Receive God's blessings,

380
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: receive God's favor. He ignored it, dropped it in the

381
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 4: offering plate. When he did, he said he felt sick

382
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: to his stomach. There's something on the inside of us

383
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 4: that says we're supposed to be blessed, We're supposed to

384
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: live an abundant life. It's because we are children of

385
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 4: the King. It was put there by our creator. But

386
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: here's the key. You have to give God permission to

387
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 4: prosper you. You can't go around with a lack of mentality,

388
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 4: thinking I'll just take the leftovers to show everyone how

389
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: humble I am. After all, God wouldn't want me to

390
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 4: have too much. That'd be greedy, that'd be selfish. No,

391
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 4: get rid of that false sense of humility that's going

392
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: to keep you from an abundant life. Listen to Deuteronomy

393
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: twenty eight. In the message translation, God will lavish you

394
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: with good things. He will throw open the doors of

395
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: his sky vaults and rain down favor. You will always

396
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: be the top dog and never the bottom dog. Now

397
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: you need to start seeing yourself as the top dog.

398
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: Not living off of leftovers, not able to afford what

399
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 4: you want, not in the land of not enough. No,

400
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: come on over to the land of more than enough.

401
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: It starts in your thinking. Give God permission to increase you,

402
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: Give him permission to lavish you with good things. We think,

403
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 4: is it wrong for me to want to live in

404
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 4: a nice house, drive a nice car? Is it wrong

405
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 4: to want funds to accomplish my dreams, or wrong to

406
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: want to leave an inheritance for my children. God is

407
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 4: saying it's not wrong. I take pleasure in prospering you.

408
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 4: If it was wrong to have resources abundance, Well, why

409
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 4: would God have chosen Abraham to start the new covenant

410
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 4: with Abraham is called the father of our faith. The

411
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 4: scripture says Abraham was the wealthiest man in all of

412
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 4: the East. He had more livestock, more cattle, more possessions

413
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: than anyone else. He was the bill Gates of his day.

414
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 4: God could have chosen anyone, but he chose Abraham, a

415
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 4: man extremely blessed. David left billions of dollars for his

416
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 4: son to build the temple. David is called a man

417
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 4: after God's own heart. Get rid of that thinking that

418
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: God wouldn't want me to have too much, that wouldn't

419
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 4: be right, that might not look good. No, it's just

420
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 4: the opposite. When you look good, it makes God look good.

421
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: When you're blessed, prosperous, successful, it brings him honor. I

422
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: realize everything I have comes from God. This suit that

423
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 4: I'm wearing, my car, my house, my resources, it's God's goodness. Listen,

424
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: you don't have to apologize for what God has done

425
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 4: in your life. Where your blessings well, the scripture says,

426
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 4: it is the Lord who gives you power to get well.

427
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 4: God wouldn't give you power to do something and then

428
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: condemn you for doing it. There's nothing wrong with you

429
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 4: having money. The key is don't let money have you.

430
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: Don't let it become the focus of your life. Don't

431
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: seek the provision, seek the provider. Money is simply a

432
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 4: tool to accomplish your destiny and to advance His kingdom.

433
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 4: Victoria and I have big dreams in our hearts. It's

434
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 4: going to take millions of dollars to do what's on

435
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 4: the inside. These are dreams not just for ourselves for

436
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 4: a bigger this or bigger that, but a dream to

437
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: build orphanages, a dream to build medical clinics. I can't

438
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 4: do that with a limited lacking. God doesn't want me

439
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: to have too much mentality. I realize my father owns

440
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: it all. He makes streets out of gold. You are

441
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 4: not going to bankrupt heaven by believing for an abundant life.

442
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 4: All God has to do is go pick up some

443
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 4: pavement and give it to you. When you have this

444
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 4: abundant mentality, you have a desire to advance the kingdom.

445
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: God will lavish you with good things. He will open

446
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: up the doors of his sky vaults to where you

447
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 4: not only accomplish your dreams, but you can help be

448
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 4: a blessing to the world. My prayer for you is

449
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: found in Deuteronomy one to eleven, says, may the Lord,

450
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: God of your fathers increase you a thousand times more

451
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 4: than you are. Can you receive that into your spirit,

452
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 4: a thousand times more favors, a thousand times more resources,

453
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 4: a thousand times more income. Most of the time our

454
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 4: thinking goes tilt. It's because we've been hanging out with

455
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 4: that skinny goat too long. It's time to cut him loose.

456
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 4: It's time to have a fatted calf mentality. God is

457
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: about to press some things down. He's about to make

458
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 4: room for more of his increase. Now get up every morning,

459
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,679
